Modded oil pan: any interest?
We have an exciting product that we're working on!
Backstory:
I got together with my local fabricator to make an oil pan for my Evo IX. The capacity will be increased from 4 quarts to six, and will have baffling with Can-Am and style trapdoors. It's going to be a modified OEM pan to ensure proper fitment and pick up location.
I've had a lot of interest in replicating it, and have started an e-mailing list to send pictures and information to when it's ready ( Should be within the next week).
Specific to this thread:
The other day, I got a PM asking if we modify Evo X oil pans. We do not have CAD files set up, but we could if there is enough interest.
If enough people were interested, I'll find a way to get a car into the shop and get some measurements.
So my question here is how many people would be interested in having their oil pans modified in this way? Tentative pricing is $500 which would include return shipping.
The oil pan would retain OEM oil return location and oil pick up positioning So that All parts can be easily sourced and will fit properly. Only the sump is modified, sealing surfaces remain intact. All trapdoors are stainless steel to prevent corrosion (just in case).
There may be options for – AN return line fittings and bungs for temperature probes.
If there is any interest, please send me a PM with your email address and I will add you to the mailing list. Please specify Evo VIII/IX or X.
If there is enough interest, we will get started right away.

Options such as -an fittings and temp sensor bungs are also available.
I'm not too familiar with Evo X oil pans, so if there are better options out there at better pricing, that's okay. I was just posting to see if there is interest. So far the response has been nothing compared to the VIII/IX pan.
We wanted OEM fitment with the benefits of an aftermarket pan, so feel modding an OEM pan is best.
The MAP pan for the X fits very well. As opposed to the Moroso pan being an absolute turd for the 8/9. That's why you're not getting much interest from the X guys.
